Grown up views, dreams forgotten

I look up to the sky
Remembering past dreams
Wondering where the dreamer went

Looking back to the past.
Having lived and loved
Sacrificed and gave everything to those who won my heart 

Now I look at this moment wondering what the hell I did.
Sold my dreams for a broken kiss and 
a hundred thousand times
 Looking to the future, 
Wondering where to start,
Looking at the past dreams, 
Looking to the sky
Missing old loves, 
missing old things.
Wondering what can I do to find who I am? 

I look at the world now with jaded eyes.
Wishing for a good thing to last,
Wondering if it ever could.
Wondering how the world is so cruel 
To break things down, build them up, destroying love and hate like a toy in a dream.
